Why you even look at my posts is still a wonder to me but whatever enough people on here have given me the deal one you so f**k me talk about paranoid what makes you think i was talking about you in particular.....being a midget you can get away with all the bigger/better talk but normal people ( the types i was referring to ) cant....simple.

I’ve always liked New York and was thinking of relocating a few years back but bottled it - the holiday entitlement out there is sh1te. Plus as much as I moan about London, I always miss it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I worked for Lockheed and also Saudia, which was then still partly owned by Americans, the Yanks got a better deal than the Brits ; They got 30% cost of living pay, we got 15% , even though the COL in the US was lower than the UK. They got 40 days vacation, we got 30. They got two day off for their birthday, we didn’t. We all got a day off for Xmas, New Year , Easter , Haj and Ramadan , the yanks also got a day off for Thanksgiving and July 4th. They got two days travelling when they went on vacation, we didn’t. I never complained as I accepted the pay and conditions I was offered when I took the job. Im not implying this is the conditions they get in the States, but they get well looked after when on TDY. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On average I think it was between 10 and 15 days when I looked into it. They seem to be getting better in their relocation packages but it’s still only around 20 Plus they say you’re only a broken arm away from bankruptcy The salary was basically double London 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
